The place has style - lots of color! Daytime staff who checked me in spoke excellent English and immediately gave me a map, marking some neighborhood amenities and where NOT to wander -- this helped immensely for feeling ok later at night when nothing about the neighborhood felt particularly dangerous but it seemed a bit deserted. There's a cat in the common areas. (I love it, but those with allergies should probably know too.) My private room was very big, especially for the price, and wound up having a private bathroom, which I don't think I'd reserved. Comfy bed, included a rack for clothing. Location is excellent, walkable for a lot even if getting rechargeable subway access cards (Subte) continues to be a bit of a scavenger hunt. (When I was in Buenos Aires in early September '23, many stations were out of the Subte cards, and I never did find a LOTTO store or kiosko selling them as promised -- if you've been before and have an old one, I'd recommend packing it. I did eventually find them, but it took a lot of ducking into every station I walked by.)

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

This hostel was one of my best hostels in South America. The staff is very friedly and helps you out everytime. Backpackers are welcome as kind of friends rather than tourists. Special thanks to Roman ;) The hostel is very clean and well located since San Telmo is close to the city center or La Boca. They offer free guided tours for the people who are staying at the hostel and inform you every day via Whatsapp about what's going on in Buenos Aires or they give advices. Furthermore I also enjoyed the good breakfast.
